Why are there so few jokes about Lenin

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-24

Jokes about the USSR and its leaders are abundant. Among the Soviet leaders, Brezhnev had the most jokes, and Lenin had the least. These jokes are all satirical jokes. This means that the more jokes a leader has, the lower his charisma and ability.

Lenin's jokes are few, first of all, because he, as a revolutionary teacher and the founder of the world's first socialist state, the Soviet Republic, is unquestionable in terms of personal charm and ability, and that he has no children and is the most incorruptible. The second is that Lenin did not live long, only 53 years old, and died after only two years in power, and it was too late to do stupid and bad things, and people did not have time to make up his jokes. If he lived to the age of Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, it would be difficult to say.

Jokes about Lenin, searched the Internet, and found only two, and they were half derogatory and half praised, and one of them was related to Stalin.

It is said that Lenin died, and God and the devil met to decide who would receive him. After a lengthy debate, they decided to give Lenin a one-year internship in heaven and one year in hell before making a final verdict on him.

In the first year, the devil took Lenin. A year later, the devil and God met again in the same place. God asked the devil, "What did he do in your hell?" The devil sighed, "Ahem! He transformed all the little ghosts into Young Pioneers. ”

God and the devil were separated for another year, and Lenin went to heaven to begin his apprenticeship. A year passed, the devil appeared in the appointed place, but God did not come.

The devil waited and waited, and after several days, God still did not come, and the devil decided to go to him. When the devil found God, he was staring thoughtfully at a piece of paper, muttering something to himself, and he didn't see the devil at all.

The devil stood and looked at it for a while, and said impatiently: "Tell me, how is Lenin?" ”

God was startled, and then replied: "Shhhh I was preparing for our first party congress ......”

This joke was originally intended to discredit Lenin, but from another angle, it proved Lenin's personal charm and ability, Lenin's ability to pamper people's hearts, no one can compare, and his means are so clever that they have to be admired.

Stalin once spoke highly of Lenin: "Only Lenin was good at describing the most complex things so simply and clearly, so concisely and boldly - every word he said was a bullet!" ”

This is also a testament to Lenin's charisma and ability.

On his deathbed, Lenin said to Stalin, "To tell you the truth, I have another concern. Stalin said, "Say, dear Ilyich." Lenin said, "That is, will people go with you?" I wonder if you've thought about it? Stalin said, "They will definitely come with me, they will!" ”

Lenin said, "I hope so, I'm just worried, what will you do if they don't go with you?" Stalin sneered, "Then let them go with you!" ”

This joke also proves Lenin's confidence in his own charisma and abilities, his lack of confidence in Stalin's personal charm and ability, and his brutality and cold-bloodedness.

Another reason why Lenin's jokes were so few was that the United States and the Soviet Union had not yet entered the era of hostility, especially the Cold War. During the Cold War, making up political jokes about the Soviet Union and its leaders was a cheap and practical weapon for the United States to attack the Soviet Union and its leaders. A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth, and the same is true of targeted jokes, not to mention that these jokes have a factual basis, but they are only highly exaggerated.

Khrushchev, especially during the Brezhnev administration, was a critical period of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and in order to bring down the Soviet Union, Reagan, who was the United States at the time, "grasped both hands very hard", not only vigorously grasping the arms race, but also vigorously grasping the offensive. ** The main means of the offensive is to go into battle in person and tell Soviet political jokes.

Reagan not only personally collected and acted on Soviet political jokes, but also wrote them. Reagan was an actor by training, and he was extremely eloquent and good at acting, and these jokes quickly spread when he told them on television, and they became a weapon to vilify and dwarf the Soviet Union and its leaders. It is no exaggeration to say that Reagan single-handedly overthrew and defeated the vast propaganda apparatus of the Soviet Union.

Some people say that Reagan's jokes are better than the atomic bomb, and he tirelessly told Soviet political jokes on television, and the Soviet Union collapsed as he spoke. This is, of course, an exaggeration, and if a joke could bring down a country, that country would have perished long ago. But this also proves from the side that during the Reagan era and the Brezhnev era, Soviet political jokes had a great influence.
